Run in Linux using Wine

(1/3) > >>

Jaap:
Your program is the best movie database around.

I have just made the step from Windows to Linux.

Is it possible to run the program in Wine?

It installs in Wine, but when I try to open a previous opened database it crashes.

Thanks

nostra:
I have not tested it yet under wine, but I will.
Does it crash with some error message or maybe you get an error message from wine?

Jaap:
No errors, not from Wine or PVD.

But I going to test with different settings of wine and PVD. See if it will work then.

Jaap:
I have tested PVD under Wine a little bit. I will test it better. I will post a update then.

Here is a list of things that work or not:

This works:
+ plugins (movieinfo from sites and from file and picture import)
+ Options in options menu
+ GUI (looks the same, search function, move to people and back to movies)
+ statistics

This works not:
- Save and open database (when i save the file is not created)
- Insert pictures from harddisk

I had 1 error in Wine when I close PVD:
"access violation at address 0040CA45 in module 'viddb.exe' write of address 00000000

Without saving and only close the database will save it and open it when I open PVD.

Jaap:
PVD works perfect now in Linux under Wine, only a little bit slower then under Windows.

You have to set Wine to emulate Windows 98 :D.
